-and women, we make this appeal for
assistance in behalf of the coal miners of
Pennsylvania In their desperate fight
against the arrogant and autocratic posi
tion of the coal mine operators.
"One hundred and fifty-seven thousand
miners with their dependent families have
been Idle in this cause for the past' 23
weeks, undergoing, privations and making
sacrifices which we in Oregon can little
understand or realise.
"The sum total of the demands of these
workers would amount to an increase of
only 10 cents per ton to the consumer. The
average wage of these miners amounts
to $1 per day of 10 hours the year round.
In addition to this demand the .ninera
claim tne right to organise for their pro
tection". This is what the mine operators
will not concede. The miners throughout
this controversy have at all times de
clared their willingness to arbitrate, and
at the recent conference called by Presi
dent Roosevelt they submitted their prop
osition to him that he name an arbitra
tion committee', and they agreed to abide
by the decision of said committee for a
period of from one to five years.
"This offer was met by the operators
with Insults to our President, and malic
ious calumny was heaped upon the mine
workers' officials for their temerity in
their efforts to obtain for the miners liv
ing conditions. '
"In accordance with the authority vest
ed In us by a convention of the presidents
of the various labor organizations of Port
land, held at the Auditorium on Sunday,
October 12, 1902, we hereby appeal to the
citizens of our city for financial assist
ance to aid us In subscribing to a gen
erous fund for the amelioration of these
half-starved, half-clothed and suffering
people In the anthracite mining regions,,
before their desperate 'conditions are in
oreased by Jhe cold blasts of "the winter
season.
"In the name of humanity, equity, Jus
ties and the love of liberty, Inherent In
the breast of every American, we make
this appeal.

INDRASAMHA
HAS ARRIVED
Made a Quick Passage Over. From
Yokahoma.
The big Oriental liner Indrasaraha ar
rived last evening at 9 o'clock from China
and Japan with a cargo of about SOutf tons
of general merchandise.
It has been, just 76 days since she left
here, and 28 days of time was spent in
the different ports. Since Balling from
Portland she has covered a distance of
13,000 miles 'and dirlng tne lime has han
dled a general cargo of 12,000 tons, as well
as 3000 tons Of coal.
She sailed from Yokohama September
14 and stopped at Mojl to coal, taking on
2000 tons, after which she proceeded to
Kobe. Ater discharging coast freight and
taking on additional cargo she left for
Yokohama". From there she made the
trip to Portland In 15 days, covering 11
knots an hour. The weather was all that
could be desired and no delays of arry
kind occurred.
THE CARGO.
The total number of packages brought
by the IndraeamhiTs 27,000. A large
quantity of the cargo consists of new
crop tea, a considerable amount of coffee,
pepper, gunnies, clay, sundries, bulbs, 100
bales of silk valued at $5000, rice, sul
phur and curios. ,
In addition to that for Portland a good
portion of the cargo goes to Seattle, Los
Angeles, Baltimore, New York, Philadel
phia, Vancouver, B. C, San Diego and
several other cities. A striking feature
about It is that a large amount of the
cargo is for the Eastern states which
goes to prove the superiority of the pass
age across the Pacific over the long and
tedious voyage via Sues Canal. Br the
latter route the distance from Japan to
New Tork, roughly speaking, Is 16,000
miles, but from Japan to Portland It Is
only 400 ' . .
The passengers consisted of 15 Japanese,
men and women, and two Chinamen.

Slough raises a largo amount of potatoes

Relief Is Slow.
. I.. -Parker has returned from a trip
through the Mt. Scott country. He re
lKirts that the work of relief for the
forest nro rmltvrers 5 going on- very-slow
ly oh account of the large number of peo
ple who are actually In need of help
Mr. Parker says that the people residing
throughout the Gresham country have
been .well looked after, but those nearer
have been somehow overlooked. The
discontinuing, of the freight car service
on the Mt. Scott portion of the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company, ac
cording to Mr. Parker, has made the work
of getting supplies to the destitute s
much harder.

McCtisker Proposes Belt
Line for
CITY OF PORTLAND
Plans for the Different Street Rail
way Companies Sugges
tions for the Rotrte. v
Thos. McClusker, president of ths Clvlo
Improvement Association, being asked
what disposition was made of his sugges
tion to the street car.. companies for a.
belt line In Portland, said:
"I bare not been advised what action,
if any, has been taken, and. Indeed, but
one of the officials to whom I made the
suggestions has acknowledged receipt of
the same. Neither did I expect any re-
suits, as the suggestions were merely
made with the possibility that they might
perhaps see something in tnem whlcn
would be of some benefit to themsleves
and to the public, provided the latter was
considered to be of any Importance."
BECOMING MORE APPARENT DAILY.
Continuing, he said: . "It Is becoming
more apparent every day that the con
gested condition of our streets will soon
be a matter of deep concern to the public
It taxes the capacity of the car lines now
to take care of the business on Washing
ton and Morrison streets, and owing to
the fact that these different lines use
First street, it 1s nearly Impossible to
drive thereon. If the statement of Post
master Croasman l correct, viz.: that
our population Is now 120,000, an increase
of. -25,000 in two- years, we certainly are
spreading ourselves, at the rate we are
growing, ' and taking Into consideration
that next year we look for the largest
immigration this state has ever known,
the result of the advertising we are get
ting by the railroads and others, we
will come very near reaching the 200,000
mark in 1905.
CAPACITY OF CARS TO BE DOUBLED
"Jf we do, the capacity of the car lines
will have to be doubled, to take care of
the business, and you can picture for
yourself what the condition of some ot
otir streets will be If such Is 'the case.
For that reason I suggested to the street
cur companies the advisability of taking
a look into the future with a view of an
ticipating the conditions which will un
questionably present themselves at no dis
tant day.
"Very expensive improvements are how
being made, and It will be easier and
eheaper to adopt a belt line system now
than a few years hence, as they will un
doubtedly have to do when the public
awakes to a realization of the fact that
they are being crowded off the map.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ROUTE.
"My suggestions were to the effect that
the City at Suburban line should go west
on Morrison street to Eleventh, thence
to Yamhill to Front and over the bridge;
The cars which now stop on the spur
track on Yamhill street could be In use
serving the public and earning some re
venue for the company by running up
Third to Morrison, to Eleventh, to Yam
hill, thence to Second, to Burnside, ana
down Third over the steel bridge.
"All ears which now go north on First
street could use Second from Madison to
Burnside, thence south on First. This
would necessitate the laying of a third
rail on Second street owing to the differ- .
ent gauges of oars used, but It would
relieve First street of these rails, and
improve conditions thereon.
"The Vancouver and Woodlawn cars
could go south on First to Madison and
north on Second to Burnside and over
the bridge.
PORTLAND RAILWAY.
The Portland Railway could run carl .
"west' 6n"Washlngton, and for the east-
bound trip diverge at Sixteenth to Burn
side, thence to Twelfth, to Stark, and
down Stark, completing the loop on First
street
With single track on Washington,
Morrison and First streets, It wuold ad
mit of teams passing on either side of
the track, which can not be done now,
owing to the fact that these streets are
but 34 feet wide between the curbs, one-
third of which Is now taken up by the
car tracks. - It would also admit of teams
unloading at stores on these streets with
out stopping- the cars as they .do how.
which is very annoying to the publio and -expensive
to the companies. I believe this -
change could be made without working
any hardships on anyone."
NEW SUITS COMMENCED.
B. C. John has brought suit In the
state Circuit Court against M- Nodlne
to recover 250 which he loaned to the
defendant September 23, 1901.
F. E. Beach has filed an action in the
State Circuit Court against Lee Stamper
to collect $240.61 which he claims Is due
him for furnishing the material and
painting houses for defendant.
